The Rs have big plans about overhauling the club's facilities and structure.

âWe are trying to take our club to the next level and Mark is central to all that,â Bhatia told the London Evening Standard. âWe are moving forward with a new training facility, working with the architects and designers and Mark is very important in that process.

âWe want to invest in the academy and youth system. I donât have that experience but we have a long-term vision and Mark is central to all those decisions.

âOur scouting system isnât up to par, the infrastructure isnât good â we need more medical people. We have a shortage of masseurs. He is walking us through all of these ideas. We are going to set new rules at the football club: how people dress, what time they show up, what time they leave. All of these are being rewritten at the moment.

âSetting targets is counter-productive. We were stupid enough to say âpromotion in four yearsâ. There is no new four-year plan. It is about getting a better infrastructure, a more respected club, a bigger fanbase and playing more attractive football. It would be frivolous to talk about a second four-year plan as we know football now.â
